Clean Mobility and Intelligent Transport Systems

Description

This book provides an important overview of current topics in intelligent transport systems and clean mobility. Edited by two experts in the field, this book covers the full spectrum of transport from land to sea and aircraft, and includes some research from the economic and human sciences. Clean Mobility and Intelligent Transport Systems covers topics including ICT for intelligent public transport systems; ITS and freight transport; steel and the green cars initiative; cooperative collision warning for vehicles; electronic toll collection systems; multi-sensor maritime surveillance; and aeronautical air-ground communications. This is essential reading for system architects, practicing engineers and students, who are involved in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and clear mobility and smart systems including software design, testing, performance analysis and validation Content: Towards contributive development of services -- The importance of ITS in urban movement -- ICT for intelligent public transport systems, state of knowledge and future trends -- ITS and freight transport: stakes and perspectives -- Energy-efficient and real-time databases management techniques for wireless sensor networks -- Proactive safety: cooperative collision warning for vehicles -- Electronic toll collection systems in Europe -- Business model and solutions for user-centric ITSs -- Digitalisation for sustainable sea transports -- Team management and soft skills: case studies and cross-connections on the creation of an effective working team -- Integrated visual information for maritime surveillance -- AIS signal radiolocation, tracking and verification -- The impact of satellite AIS to the environment challenges of modern shipping -- How 'green' is e-navigation? -- Optimal ship operation: monitoring technology of ship overall heat balance -- Regulation of ship-source pollution through international convention regimes -- Foresight application for transport sector -- Aeronautical air-ground data communications: current and future trends.
